According to Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, MP for the Assin Central Constituency, a well-developed tourist industry might have a significant impact on Ghana's unemployment rate.
The socioeconomic fortunes of the nation might be drastically changed by the development of millions of employment for young people, he claimed, and if that sector were to grow, every area of the economy would do better.
At the fourth in a series of "Guidance Conferences" conducted in Sunyani on the theme: "The Youth-Our Future Hope," Mr. Agyapong was responding to a participant who asked him what his intentions were to lower unemployment if he became President of Ghana.
The conference is a venue designed by the MP to inspire young Ghanaians through inspirational speeches and the sharing of personal stories by him and other persons who have achieved socioeconomic success.
Regarding agricultural growth, Mr. Agyapong, a business tycoon, claimed that mechanisation was a major force behind the industry and that, with proper management, it would increase food production, bring in money, and produce wealth to strengthen the country's economy.
He indicated the mechanisation drive would be focused on the northern and the Afram plains areas with naturally flat-level lands of the country to promote large scale commercial and suitable types of farming.
"Guidance and skill development is the key to altering the youth," said Okokyeredom Sakyi Ako II, the Paramount Chief of Drobo Traditional Area in the Jaman South Municipality of Bono Region, who served as the event's chair.
The young were instructed by Okokyeredom Ako II, who is also the Vice-President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, to constantly discern between their requirements and wants and give priority to those demands that are most appropriate for the current situation.
Furthermore, he counselled aspiring business owners to launch their ventures with their own money rather than taking out a loan to do so because doing so may leave them permanently indebted to banks, which would likely hinder their company's growth.
